§
Clause 2, page 3, line 20, leave out "proposal is made" and insert "notice is for the time being displayed.
(2A) If at any time it appears to the valuation officer that the facts stated in a notice under subsection (1) above or under this subsection are no longer accurate, he shall give to the site operator a further written notice bringing the facts so stated up to date; and the notice or last notice received by the site operator under this subsection shall after his receipt of it (or, if it is received in October, then from the beginning of the following April) take the place of the notice under subsection (1) for the purposes of subsection (2)(b) above.
§ Baroness BIRKMy Lords, I beg to move that this House doth agree with the Commons in their Amendment No. 8. My Lords, the purpose of Amendment No. 8 is two-fold. The first part provides that the rate poundage to be displayed on the notice board shall be the current rate poundage. Thus, this item on the notice will normally change annually. The second part provides for the valuation officer to update the information given in his notice under subsection (1) if it appears to him that the facts stated in it are no longer accurate. This could occur if, for example, there is a change in the rateable value of the site because of a change in the number of separately assessable caravans on the site. The Amendment also requires that the site operator shall always display 1638 the information contained in the last notice received from the valuation officer. I beg to move.
§ Moved, That this House doth agree with the Commons in the said Amendment.—(Baroness Birk.)
